THE UNSIGNED BAND’S BIBLE!
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE UNSIGNED BAND’S BRAND -
Hi, Welcome to the latest issue of Playmusic Magazine. This month you can find the next installment of our new Hot Mods for Guitar where Simon Croft will be gently guiding you through how to modify your electric guitar to help shield it against noise. Simon has also put together some accompanying videos that we have uploaded on the Playmusic website. Let us know what you think of the Hot Mods for Guitar series, after all this
series is there for you so we need to know if you find it helpful and if there are any other topics that you think we need to cover. Elsewhere in this issue you’ll find an interview with Mercury award nominees Wild Beasts, plus UK modern jazz band Led Bib and a real guitar legend, Warren Haynes. Warren sings and plays lead guitar with the Allman Brothers, Gov’t Mule and The Dead (The remaining members of the Grateful Dead, so maybe they should be called the Undead?). Warren joins us to spill the beans on his new solo LP Man in Motion, which departs from his blues rock roots and reveals a soulful side to this great singer and guitarist. Soon we’ll reveal the winners of the Playmusic Unsigned
Awards, there’s still time to get your entries in to -
tim@standfirst-media.com, so keep ‘em coming. I’m off to pack a bag and head for the airport to visit the Frankfurt Music Messe, we’ll bring back a shedload of fab new gear for you…see you soon.
